I love high school sports - kids playing their hearts out with full knowledge that few will play in college but none the less, they play hard. As to the singing of our National Anthem, I too get chills and more than once I've wiped tears after the final, ..."Home of the Brave..." I always stand at attention and remove the hat if for no other reason that to respect those presenting the colors - which is often a junior ROTC or local reservist.

I've done plenty of rides with the Patriot Guard and let me tell you, after scores of Harleys thunder up and shut down and then you stand in a flag line shoulder-to-shoulder with liberals, conservatives and all manner in between to honor a fallen warrior and afterwords embrace the 45 year old parents who have just buried their child something changes deep inside.

Sorry for the hijack - let's all go to a high school football game this year and enjoy the energy of young America and who knows, might just get a chance to talk with some of those kids and change a life!

Regards All, Glenn
